Ten Wise Men Among the Disciples of Confucious

Colorful Japanese woodblock print of ten men in traditional robes, with the man on the right sitting on a tree stump and the man on the left leaning down. The man leaning down wears a blue robe with a diamond pattern and a light blue hat; he holds a long scroll with both hands. The man on the tree stump on the right wears a green robe with pink lining and a brown hat. He holds a large fan in one hand. A man behind him wearing a hat wears a blue robe and holds another fan. Two men in back wear blue head wraps. A man on the center-left holds a tray with both hands. All the men are bearded and wear traditional Japanese robes. The background shows a field with small green plants and a beige ground. There are Japanese characters throughout the image. The composition seems dense with the figures overlapping.
